  • time division duplex (TDD) wireless communications are encoded with scrambling codes, spreading codes and predetermined training sequences known as midambles, which are helpful to reconstruct the originally transmitted signals.
  • Each base station cell uses a unique scrambling code to distinguish base stations in the network when establishing a link between a particular base station and the WTRUs that it serves.
  • Spreading codes are associated with spreading each WTRU's data into pieces across the same frequency bandwidth as the other WTRUs, while tagging each respective data signal with a unique spreading code to permit reconstructing the data at the receiver.
  • the midamble is a designated portion of a time division channel timeslot containing a known code sequence that is used at the receiver during channel estimation.
  • many communications may share the same radio frequency spectrum.
  • all the other communications using the same spectrum cause interference to the specific communication.
  • increasing the transmission power level of one communication degrades the signal quality of all other communications within that spectrum.
  • reducing the transmission power level too far results in undesirable received signal quality, such as measured by signal to interference ratios (SIRs) at the receivers.
  • SIRs signal to interference ratios
  • OLPC outer loop power control

  • the power level of a specific transmitter is based on a target SIR value.
  • a receiver receives the transmissions, the quality of the received signal is measured.

  • BLER is estimated by the receiver, typically by a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the data.
  • CRC cyclic redundancy check
  • This estimated BLER is compared to a target quality requirement, such a target BLER, representative of quality of service (QoS) requirements for the various types of data services on the channel.

  • the transmitter adjusts the target SIR in response to these adjustment requests.

  • the receiver compares a measurement of the received signal quality, such as SIR, to a threshold value (i.e., the target SIR). If the SIR exceeds the threshold, a transmit power command (TPC) to decrease the power level is sent. If the SIR is below the threshold, a TPC to increase the power level is sent.
  • TPC transmit power command
  • the TPC is multiplexed with data in a dedicated channel to the transmitter. In response to received TPC, the transmitter changes its transmission power level.

  • CHEST W 11 and CHEST W 12 provide two channel estimates, h 1 and h 2 respectively, to data estimator 65 .
  • the data estimator 65 jointly detects the data sent from base station BS 1 using Sb 1 and Cb 1 , and base station BS 2 using Sb 1 and Cb 4 .
  • the joint detection is simplified by the use of the same scrambling code Sb 1 .
  • Data estimator 65 soft combines the data, which is next sent to the decoder 66 , where any error coding, such as convolutional or turbo code, is decoded.
  • the final output at decoder 66 is data signal DATA 1 as originated in the core network CN.
  • FIG. 7 depicts the uplink processing in SHO by the same network configuration shown in FIG. 5 .
  • Mobile units WTRU 1 , WTRU 2 and WTRU 3 use scrambling codes Su 1 , Su 2 and Su 1 , respectively. This assignment is reflective of the WTRU's original base station affiliation (i.e., WTRU 1 has original base station assignment to BS 1 and uses scrambling code Su 1 accordingly).
  • Mobile units WTRU 1 , WTRU 2 , WTRU 3 use spreading codes Cu 1 , CU 2 , and Cu 3 , and midambles MAu 1 , MAu 2 and MAu 3 respectively.
  • the receiver of base station BS 1 uses a single CHEST B 11 loaded with MA 1 and MA 3 , producing channel estimate h 1A , for the path between WTRU 1 and BS 1 , and h 3 for the path between WTRU 3 and BS 1 .
  • the other base station BS 2 has a joint detection receiver including two channel estimators CHEST B 21 and CHEST B 22 —one for WTRU 2 not in SHO, the other for WTRU 1 in SHO.
  • CHEST B 21 is used to account for the scrambling code S 1 used by WTRU 1 .
  • CHEST B 21 also accommodates any possible timing difference between the arrival times of the signals from the WTRUs in SHO and those not in SHO, the latter having their timing advances controlled by base station BS 2 .
  • Channel estimator CHEST B 21 processes midamble MA 1 producing channel estimate h 1B while channel estimator CHEST B 22 processes midamble MA 2 producing channel estimate h 2 .
  • Data estimator 76 of base station BS 1 descrambles scrambling code S 1 and despreads codes C 1 and C 3 , where decoder 75 further processes the signals by decoding any error coding, such as convolutional or turbo coding.
  • the output of decoder 75 is the reconstructed data signals DATA 1A and DATA 3 from WTRU 1 and WTRU 3 , respectively.
  • data estimator 77 and decoder 78 reconstruct the data signals DATA 1B and DATA 2 from WTRU 1 and WTRU 2 .
  • the network controller N receives the data signals from base stations BS 1 and BS 2 .
  • network controller N passes the error-free data set as data signal DATA 1 to the core network.
